I recently picked up some pre-owned Sonus Faber Cremonas and I’m absolutely blown away by the sound. (I have a McIntosh MAC6700 integrated for the Cremonas).

If you are willing to deviate from B&W you should check out some SF towers.

I have a pretty large room that has 18’ vaulted ceilings and opens up to a large kitchen. It’s a tough room.

I feel zero need to even have a subwoofer, which is shocking (I love bass). I cannot imagine how much better these would sound in a better room.

My secondary system sounds good even when compared to my main rig, which is anchored by B&W Signature 800’s and McIntosh separates.

Had I heard this SF/McIntosh combination I have in the secondary system first, I’d have never spent the money I did assembling my main rig.

Just a thought for your consideration.
I am wanting to get away from floorstanders in my family room - been eying stand mounts for some time now, although, I would consider the 803D3. I do have Cremona Auditor Ms in my room upstairs and have thoroughly enjoyed them.
